Yes Man is a movie you could easily skip for other more interesting flicks, it doesn’t suck - but it’s not a very good movie either. It’s decent. It does have its moments though; the scene where Jim Carrey rescues the jumper being one;

However; the most interesting idea in the movie is the one about going to your airport of choice and ordering a ticket for the first plane boarding. Wherever it goes. You get on. Wherever it goes. You go with it. Whether it be Lincoln, Nebraska or some place way more exciting. I don’t know why that sounds like such a good idea to me, but that is definitely something I want to do, at least once. Just for the rush and excitement of it.

I like to think that I like to travel. Even though my past travels outside of Scandinavia are limited to a couple of weeks in the slow city of Parga, Greece, a school-related week in Nice, France and a short road trip to Italy. I’d really like to travel more, and hopefully that will come to fruition in the future.

Oh, and as far the movie goes; a fair 6/10 from me.

Madagascar
Animated Animal Madness. Marty, a zebra in a New York Zoo, yearns for the Wild. Cue his best friend Alex the lion, Ross Geller the giraffe and a very big hippo! I’m a sucker for anything animated, if someone animated Days of Our Lives I’d watch every episode. The same goes for Madagascar – if you love animated stuff watch it. If not – stay clear. It’s not very good. It has its moments of comedy gold, but overall it’s nothing more than “ok”. A sequel is in the making, and hopefully we’ll see more of The Penguins, by far the funniest animals of Madagascar. In fact, the extra stuff, featuring the penguins, on the dvd is better than the movie itself. 6/10

The Mist
“Stephen King’s The Mist” Oh, Stephen King. I haven’t read a single word you’ve ever written, but you’re supposedly an awesome author. Based on all those movie adaptions of your books I’d say “Meh”. However, after watching The Mist, I’m convinced! This was better than I’d thought. Also, Marcia Gay Harden did a great job as the Religious Wacko. I seriously wanted her to die, and when she was shot I was fucking thrilled. I’ve never been so glad to watch someone die in a movie before. It was awesome. At times, the movie was awesome as well. However, there are too many unanswered questions and the ending is horrid at best, but it did restore my faith in old people. (Watch it and you’ll understand) 7/10

Cloverfield
From Lost creator JJ Abrams comes Cloverfield. A Sci-Fi action thriller set in New York. Cloverfield continues the trend of the Blair Witch Project with its “handy-cam” filming. Through the entire movie we follow the recordings of Hud as he and a couple of friends fights for their survival through the chaos of a New York under attack. Something big landed in New York and it was pissed. As with The Mist, lots of questions remain unanswered, but the dish we’re served is excellent. The cgi was amazing and the camera style worked out really well. Atleast for me. Lots of people are however saying they feel nauseous after watching it, that’s understandable as it is pretty hectic at times. I’m very glad I didn’t see this at the silver screen, that might’ve been a little too much. Loved every second of it though. 8/10

That’s that. Sorry for the lousy norwenglish, and for the horrible title. I should’ve gone to bed three hours ago. Here – accept my humble offering of Penguin Waffles and all shall be forgiven!

“But why, pray tell?” say you. Well, because I wanted to. It is supposed to be a list off all the movies I’ve seen. It will never be completed though, mainly because I’ve watched a lot of movies I don’t remember. However, as of today, I will add movies to the list with my imdb rating and a potential “review”. (Depending on wether I post something about it here or not)

And please, as the disclaimer says; If there are scores you DISAGREE immensely with (either too high or too low scores) please leave a comment using profanity, calling me names and urging me to watch the movie again.

Some of those scores are embarrassing. : (
